At Niche, understanding biodiversity is our speciality and the application of that knowledge to biodiversity offsetting is a core area of our business.
Our biodiversity offsetting team includes accredited BAM assessors (NSW) and senior staff experienced in delivering offsets in New South Wales, Queensland and at the Commonwealth level. We provide strategic advice to our clients to ensure that their environmental offset requirements are met as efficiently as possible.
Biodiversity offsets aim to deliver beneficial and sustainable outcomes and are an integral component of project approvals in Australia.
Our biodiversity offsetting team operates across a wide range of client sectors and environments. Matching the biodiversity offsetting needs of our development clients with the biodiversity offsetting resources of our landowner clients provides exceptional commercial and environmental outcomes.
We help our clients to find, secure and manage biodiversity offsets for their projects. We have considerable experience brokering the sale and purchase of biodiversity offset credits, helping our clients to plan and achieve project approval.
We broker offset sales for landowners who retain and manage the biodiversity values on their land for conservation.
